As we've all learned the hard way, with a lot of the girls on BP their heads do not cast a shadow. This site is more difficult to navigate than BP, so that will hopefully thin the herd.

As long as there's a demand for the problem that they are trying to fight, there will always be someone willing to provide it. The UA suppliers will just move somewhere else. They should be going after the demand much more strongly. I don't see a message being sent to those that seek that population.
I forsee lots of multi handles, infractions, and bannings on the horizon.

The industry will survive and thrive! Backpage, uppage, downpage sidebage, ecccci, dsdi, or any name, doesn't matter, it will never, ever go away! Every body does it! Even the ones enforcing it do it!

As of this morning it is still up and running, if they do shut it down though prepare for the Welcome and Introduction forum to blow up.

Do you peeps not see the similarities between Backpage and Eccie?
Specifically, what's being promoted and what/why the Atty General is going after them?

Sure seems to me that there's a lot of parallels between the two sites.
That trafficking allegation is just one of many the AG seems to be using.....

I'm more concerned about that than some influx of new members.

I saw on the news this morning that it was UA trafficking - which of course does not happen here thanks to verifications

Unfortunately they cast a wide net for traffickers which brings in consenting adults as well. No site is immune.
